First of all, I finally updated my Nocticron 42.5mm/1.3 lens hood glue problem blog; being so busy it slipped my mind that I had never posted an update. So thanks to Jay for the comment the other day.

[EDIT: I have figured out the problem. Because I set the time lapse to take each photo at every 3 minutes, the camera lens retracts and goes into "sleep" mode in between every shot. There is nothing that can be done about this annoyance. Any time lapse interval shot at :31 seconds or greater will do this. :30 seconds or less time, however, will keep the camera on. Hope this helps!]

Speaking of photography woes, I thought I'd do a post on my time lapse problem on my Panasonic LX100 camera. I'm trying to do time lapses of my artwork, but I can't figure out why it doesn't work anymore--the camera shuts down when I attempt it. See the above video (you should be subscribing anyway to my YouTube channel hehe).

For your information, I have gotten it to work before:

So can anyone shed light on this? Will Panasonic care and do anything? They helped out before, will they do it again? Or am I stuck with this camera that can't do time lapse?
